Puzzle Notes
Greetings Friends,
I'd like to thank all the nice folks who wrote to me with "feel better" wishes after last week's email. It's been a week since my booster shot and I feel fantastic -- ready to take on 2022 with verve and audacity. On a whim, we secured tickets for The Lehman Trilogy, Stefano Massini's magnificent play whose limited run on Broadway ends this week. The miracle of live theater -- in this case, three actors who play multiple roles on a rotating set for over three hours -- reaffirms one's faith in hope and possibility. It's the shot in the arm that I needed to reboot my inner operating system for the New Year.
Cruciverbally, we kick off 2022 with a puzzle that celebrates strong bonds. I like to think that you and I, as admirers of words, share a strong bond across the miles.
Welcome to Week 553 of Crossword Nation. We humbly present "Gorilla Glue" as your puzzle of the week. May 2022 be magical for you and yours!
Until next time, I remain . . .
Cruciverbally yours,
Liz
